HEY WE BOTH GOT CATS! So yeah, I hope you like cat talk, because there’s a lot of that this week, and probably for the foreseeable future. DEAL WITH IT. When we’re not busy being belligerent about our cat content, we’re also playing new games, old games, and new versions of old games. We also have things to say about Summer Game Fest, but more importantly, about weird Doritos and spiked coffee. Also, did we tell you we got cats? Games We Are Playing: Thirsty Suitors, Tetris 99, Paranormasight, FFVII Rebirth, Paper Mario TTYD Snack Chat: Baja Blast Doritos and a terrible Dunkin Hard Iced Coffee. Links!
